Nottingham Forest - Blackpool

[Floridared]

Currently 3 rd in the form table after the last 6 games with only Bournemouth and reading better.

Thought we were pretty good today, a little more open defensively than I'd like but it's hard not to be excited by the pace of that attack. Colback and Yates were good again too weirdly, I wonder why they never considered passing forwards before! Zinck class again, Johnson value rises every game and Grabban continues his excellent off the ball work (did miss kick a sitter and possibly could've run to the near post on a few of those cutbacks from Johnson though) 

I'm genuinely in shock about our recent run though. 13 out of 15 points from where we were after the Boro game is amazing. It is worth noting we've had some nicer fixtures in this run too but nevertheless we've built some momentum in attack and actually created chances

The first win I have been present to witness since Leeds 20 long months ago.

Will try to write something more constructive later. I will summarise with I am actually enjoying watching Nottingham Forest again.

Colback subbed for Garner
Zincman subbed for Mighten

Colback had a good game.  His reaction to the Forest goal was fist pumpingly good.

Today's attendance at The City Ground is 27,946, including 1,795 from Blackpool

Forest fans rocking it.

Bumping up near the capacity again!

Forest on 14 points.

Mid-table.

A point off the top 12.

A win off top 9.

Two wins off the top 6.

It's all looking a lot healthier.  On a run.  A bit of momentum.  

The players are playing for the coach and seem to know what they are doing.

With the ball at feet and playing to a progressive footballing style.

Those 'nicer' fixtures in this run are the kind of games used to stuff up.

Colback and Yates working together is justice.  Two decent players.  Sound experience and a developing Academy player.  Win Win.

Zinc Man pure class.

That 1st attack was sweeping. Brennan with the legs of youth to 'get there' and bury it.

And Grabban's build up play in the 2nd was class.  He got the ball moving then made a beeline for the box and scored. (Could have got another?)

Enjoyed that.

Slightly worried about our soft underbelly from set pieces, not sure how they didn’t score from their first corner and their goal was bad defensively.

Grabbs with five in seven and deserved MOTM.

Two assists for Lowe.

Yates playing positive football again.

Colback not taking the easy options.

Lots to love.

Bristol city, Fulham and QPR next.. be happy with 5 points from those, win and two draws ?

Aside from the formation change, the change in style from the two CMs is one of the biggest and most unexpected changes since Cooper started. I've always thought Yates could get better with better coaching but the change just from passing forwards more is a surprise.

Exactly what I saw User

Thought Grabban was superb second half, work rate was on another level and should have had an easy 2nd.

Not seen the goal we conceded back but from the other end of the pitch Samba should have shouted and claimed that ball every time.

Johnson and Zinc are an absolute menace, a joy to watch them the way we counter attack

[Mcforest]

Again another brilliant performance for the boys. Sorry not boys anymore we are playing like men. I'm delighted with the way things are going.
